The story begins in the skies above [[Peach's Castle]], where [[Mario]] and [[Bowser]] are in the middle of fighting each another on Bowser's [[airship]], with [[Princess Peach]] on board as well witnessing the battle. Bowser punches the ground as Mario jumps backward. Bowser then jumps at Mario and shoots fire at him, missing. Bowser then throws his hat at Mario, which misses while knocking [[Mario's Cap|Mario's cap]] off his head, then turns around, hitting Mario and sending him flying. Bowser then takes his airship toward the skies, as preparing a forced marriage to Peach. He leaves Mario's cap adrift into the ship's back propellers, shredding it in the process. A piece is obtained by a [[Bonneter]] named [[Cappy]], who eventually finds Mario in Bonneton, located in the [[Cap Kingdom]].

Cappy begins nudging Mario to awaken him. Mario wakes up, startling Cappy, who attempts to flee. Upon being calmed down, Cappy introduces himself and explains to Mario that Bowser had not only attacked their kingdom, destroying its airship armada, but had also kidnapped [[Tiara]], his sister, to use her as Peach's wedding headdress. Mario and Cappy decide to team up to stop Bowser's plans and save both Peach and Tiara, and using the piece he collected, Cappy transforms into Mario's cap, allowing Mario to use his abilities. Cappy informs Mario that they may be able to find a usable airship in the next kingdom, accessible from the [[Top Hat Tower]]. While exploring the tower, Mario [[capture]]s a [[frog]], first learning of this being Cappy's main ability. Upon reaching the top, they encounter the [[Broodals]], who were hired by Bowser as his wedding planners. After defeating one of the Broodals, named [[Topper]], Mario and Cappy use a [[spark pylon]] to travel to Fossil Falls of the [[Cascade Kingdom]], where they find the airship, named the [[Odyssey]], which uses [[Power Moon]]s as energy to travel. Soon after, Mario and Cappy find and defeat [[Madame Broode]], the boss of the Broodals, and her [[Chain Chomp]]. Using the power of the [[Multi Moon]] obtained from Madame Broode, the Odyssey becomes functional once more, and Mario and Cappy use it to chase after Bowser and the Broodals.

[[File:Mario vs Bowser Odyssey.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Mario and Cappy confront Bowser in the Nimbus Arena.]]
Mario and Cappy travel through several kingdoms. They begin with Tostarena of the [[Sand Kingdom]], in which they must discover the source of an unusually cold desert before battling and defeating [[Hariet]] and [[Knucklotec]] respectively. However, it is revealed that Bowser had already succesfully stolen the [[Binding Band]] to use as a wedding ring for his bride, this being the cause of the desert's temperature. However, once the ring's guardian is defeated, heat is restored to the desert. After this, Mario and Cappy travel to and explore Lake Lamode of the [[Lake Kingdom]] and the Steam Gardens of the [[Wooded Kingdom]], where Bowser has stolen the [[Lochlady Dress]] and the [[Soirée Bouquet]] respectively. After this, while the duo travel to New Donk City of the [[Metro Kingdom]], they are halted by Bowser on his airship. After a battle commences in the Nimbus Arena of the [[Cloud Kingdom]], Mario emerges victorious. Regardless, after he is knocked onto his airship, Bowser fires at the Odyssey, causing it to crash and land in the Forgotten Isle of the [[Lost Kingdom]].

After Mario rescues Cappy from a [[Klepto]] and collects more Power Moons to restore the Odyssey, they travel through New Donk City of the [[Metro Kingdom]], Shiveria of the [[Snow Kingdom]], Bubblaine of the [[Seaside Kingdom]], and Mount Volbono of the [[Luncheon Kingdom]]. They then attempt to enter [[Bowser's Castle]] in [[Bowser's Kingdom]]; however, they are encountered by Bowser before they get there. Instead of fighting Mario and Cappy, Bowser orders the [[Ruined Dragon]] to attack the Odyssey. This causes the ship to fall to Crumbleden of the [[Ruined Kingdom]], where Mario and Cappy directly fight and defeat the Ruined Dragon. After restoring the Odyssey again, they finally go to Bowser's Castle and find Bowser with Peach. Bowser reveals that he plans to hold his wedding on the [[moon]], and leaves Mario and Cappy to fight the Broodals in the [[RoboBrood]].

Mario and Cappy destroy the RoboBrood, sending the Broodals flying as they recover another Multi Moon. They then head off to Honeylune Ridge of the [[Moon Kingdom]] to stop the marriage between Bowser and Peach. They interrupt the wedding as Bowser is attempting to put the [[Binding Band]] that was previously stolen from Tostarena on Peach. Bowser then stomps the floor, revealing a trapdoor under Mario and Cappy. Cappy grabs Mario by the fingers and tries to pull him out of the trapdoor, but his hands slip, causing him to drop Mario and fall into it himself. Bowser jumps in after them and engages them in battle, but he is defeated. Mario, Cappy, Peach, and Tiara are reunited but soon discover that the area they are in is collapsing. Mario uses Cappy to capture an unconscious Bowser and escape, with all of them eventually returning to the moon. Mario and Bowser then simultaneously propose to marry Peach, with Mario offering a [[Rocket Flower]] and Bowser offering a [[Soirée Bouquet]]. However, Peach rejects them both and leaves with Cappy and Tiara. Mario and Bowser get upset, but Peach then calls from the Odyssey, saying, ''"Let's go home!"'' As the ship takes off, Mario and Bowser run after it. While Mario successfully jumps onto it, he stomps on Bowser, leaving him stuck on the moon.

After the credits, the Odyssey lands in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] near Peach's Castle, where Cappy says that he enjoyed the adventure and wishes to continue traveling with Mario to collect more Power Moons. They do so, going through the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as Rabbit Ridge of the [[Dark Side|dark side of the moon]] and Culmina Crater of the [[Darker Side|darker side of the moon]] in the process. Meanwhile, Peach and Tiara travel the kingdoms on Peach's "own terms," while finding Power Moons themselves that they give to Mario when he meets up with them.

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
''Super Mario Odyssey'' returns to the explorative sandbox-like gameplay seen in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Sunshine'', where Mario explores various areas in order to collect Power Moons to power the Odyssey airship to fly from kingdom to kingdom. There is no central hub world, as the Odyssey is rather used to move from one location to the others. Mario maintains his moveset from previous 3D titles, including the [[Triple Jump]], the [[Long Jump]], the [[Side Somersault]], the [[Backwards Somersault]], the [[Roll]], the [[Ground Pound]], the Ground Pound Jump, the [[Spin Jump]], and the returning [[Dive]]. In addition, a new character called Cappy allies with Mario and takes possession of his cap. Mario can throw Cappy as if he were a [[boomerang]] for a long-range attack. He can use Cappy as an extra platform to bypass obstacles, use Cappy in conjunction with his dive move to cross large distances, and also use Cappy to "capture" certain objects and enemies to take control of them, replacing the traditional power-up system seen in the previous ''Super Mario'' games since ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. There are 52 capturable targets in total.<ref>https://m.imgur.com/kvntP40</ref>

The game also features a co-op mode. During this mode, the second player as Cappy automatically hovers over the first player's head until they press the {{button|ns|Left}} button, where they gain independent movement, where they act as an animate [[Cap Throw]]. When the second player is hovering over the first player's head, they can move the stick on their Joy-Con to move Cappy 360 degrees. When the second player is hovering over the first player's head, the first player can still perform all actions with Cappy as in normal gameplay; however, they cannot perform these actions when the second player is not hovering above them. If the second player, while being independent of the first player, presses the {{button|ns|Left}} button again, they will automatically travel back to the first player's head until they press the {{button|ns|Left}} button again. The camera follows the first player in this mode, and due to this, the second player can fly only a certain distance away from the first player until they are stopped by an invisible wall. When the first player walks a certain distance away from the second player, the second player will be pushed towards the first player.

Mario's life meter also returns with three health, similar to in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Additionally, there are no [[Extra life|lives]] (and, by extension, [[1-Up Mushroom]]s and [[Game Over]]s) in the game, making this the only 3D ''Mario'' game not to feature them, as Mario instead loses ten [[coin]]s upon dying. The coins that Mario collects serve as currency. There are two types of coins—global yellow coins, which can be found and used in any kingdom, and purple [[regional coin]]s, which are different in every kingdom and can be used only in the kingdom they were found in. Mario can spend his coins at the [[Crazy Cap]] stores to buy items for the Odyssey and costumes. [[amiibo]] support includes Mario, Peach, Bowser, and a new character called [[Uncle amiibo]], which unlocks more costumes, including ones based on [[Luigi]], [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], and [[Diddy Kong]];<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/hardware/amiibo/chart/index.html</ref> others reveal Power Moon locations on the map, though the latter four amiibo also do that before unlocking the costumes. This is also the case for the new "wedding" variants of the former three amiibo.

The game features a "[[Snapshot Mode]]," where players can suspend the game with {{button|ns|down}} and take screenshots. Players are also able to alter the shot by zooming in and out, tilting the camera for a vertical shot, or applying one of several filters, such as blurring the surroundings, adding a sepia tone, changing the camera to a fisheye lens, or applying an [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]-, [[Game Boy]]-, or [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]]-styled color scheme.

Balloon World is a minigame similar to {{wp|hide-and-seek}} that was added to ''Super Mario Odyssey'' in a free update released on February 21, 2018. In order to play, Mario must find [[Luigi]] in a kingdom and talk to him to begin. Mario is given a balloon that he can hide in spots around the kingdom for other players to find. Mario can also find balloons that other players around the world have already hidden. There is a time limit for placing and finding the balloons.

Most of the kingdoms are inhabited by people that are suited to their land's topography. Outside of dialogue, the culture, history, and nature of these people can be reviewed on their respective kingdom's brochure. In the kingdoms ransacked by Bowser, the stolen wedding article is usually a {{wp|national treasure}} and the theft makes the people distressed. Many are forced to attend Bowser's wedding in the [[Moon Kingdom]]. After [[Princess Peach]] is rescued and the wedding articles are returned to their respective lands, many of these people can be found outside of their own kingdom, exploring the world. Generally, if a character is wearing a hat, it cannot be [[capture]]d, but a few species include both hatted and hatless individuals. Unlike enemies, [[Mario]] can [[jump]] on characters without harming them, and the ones wearing hats twirl when struck by [[Cappy]].
! Description  
 
! Found in
''Super Mario Odyssey'' is the first ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' game to include more than ten different non-playable characters since ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' ([[List of games by date#2010|2010]]), and most of them are wholly new. In addition to the characters listed below, an [[8-bit character]] of [[Rosalina]] is in [[Honeylune Ridge]] and [[Rabbit Ridge]]. There are outfits sold at the [[Crazy Cap]] based on [[Waluigi]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Wario]]. Several shops and streets in [[New Donk City]] are named after characters from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series. [[Mr. Game & Watch]] appears on the minigame icons.

Certain enemies will wear different gear depending on the area they are found in. Enemies whose use is mandatory to advance, such as capturable enemies, respawn shortly after getting defeated or after being captured. De-capturing an enemy leaves it in a short dizzy state, which offers the player another chance to capture it before it disappears and respawns at the place it was first encountered.

|A dinosaur found in either very dark or sunny areas. Though a few individuals are harmless as they are always sleeping (and can be captured immediately), others roam around a set path, chasing Mario down when they spot him. In order to stun a T-Rex, it has to be lured into a large wall or tree as it charges at Mario, leaving it dizzy and ready to capture. While captured, the T-Rex can be used to effortlessly rampage through fossil blocks and large numbers of enemies. The enemy can only be temporarily used, as Cappy claims it is too large to handle. The only way to defeat a T-Rex is by having it drop into an [[pit|abyss]].

However, after a while, the Banzai Bill starts to flash red and eventually self-destructs, dropping Mario off.

|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Artwork Power Moon.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Power Moon]]s
|Objects that power the ''[[Odyssey]]''. Power Moons are scattered throughout the [[Earth|world]], sometimes [[glowing spot|buried]], concealed in objects, or [[Lurker|lurking]] underground. Some are tied to story-specific [[mission|objective]]s that are completed upon being collected. Accumulating Power Moons expand the ''Odyssey''{{'}}s sail and enables it to reach new kingdoms. Glowing [[Moon Rock]]s break apart into these moons once struck. Power Moons are a source of energy throughout the world, and are of implied cultural significance across multiple cultures. It is implied that the [[Power Star]]s of prior games are the same object, just differently shaped.
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Asset Model Multi Moon.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Multi Moon]]s
|Multi Moons represent three Power Moons and are collected from story-related objects. Most of them are held by bosses. In addition to rescuing [[Princess Peach]], Mario needs to collect all Multi Moons in order for Moon Rocks to start glowing.

|Coins can be used to buy items, Power Moons, and outfits at the [[Crazy Cap]]. They are accepted across all kingdoms. Mario loses ten coins when he loses a [[Extra life|life]], and experiences a [[Game Over]] if he has no coins on hand. In [[Balloon World]], collecting coins extends the [[Time Limit|timer]], and Mario is rewarded a large sum whenever he increases his rank. Coins sometimes occur in [[Coin pile|stack]]s or are [[Hidden Coin|invisible]].

|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Artwork Note.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Note]]s

|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Artwork Hat Launcher.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Hat Launcher]]
|Striking a Hat Launcher with Cappy fires him in the direction it is facing and brings him farther than a normal Cap Throw would. Hat Launchers are generally needed to solve puzzles and access distant switches.
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure C.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Hole (Super Mario Odyssey)|Hole]]
|Indentations in soft walls. Some of them release a Power Moon or item when jabbed by a [[Capture#Pokio|captured Pokio]]'s beak. They apparently were used by archers at some point in the history of [[Bowser's Castle]].
|-

|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:Mysterious Cube SMO.jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Moon Rock]]
|A Moon Rock appears in most of the kingdoms. Once [[Princess Peach]] has been rescued and all [[Multi Moon]]s have been collected, the Moon Rocks begin to glow and shift. Striking one sends it skyward, where it burst into a multitude of new [[Power Moon]]s to collect.
|-

|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Artwork Scarecrow.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Scarecrow (object)|Scarecrow]]
|Striking a scarecrow leaves Mario without Cappy for a brief period of time. In the overworld, striking a scarecrow triggers a brief Timer Challenge with temporary platforms. In some subareas, Mario must navigate an obstacle course-like area without Cappy's abilities.
|-
!colspan=3 style="background:#FF7733;"|Climbable objects
|-

|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Vine.jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Beanstalk]]
|A beanstalk grows when a [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|giant seed]] is thrown into an enclosed patch of dirt. The plant can be clung to like a pole to hidden areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. Growing and climbing a beanstalk is the only way Mario can leave the Deep Woods.
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Pole.jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Pole]]
|Mario clings to a pole by jumping onto it. He can ascend, descend, and change which face of the pole he is on by moving {{button|switch|leftstick}}. Pressing {{button|switch|a}} makes Mario jump from whichever face he is on. Poles vary widely in design, length, and shape. Cappy can twirl at the top of most poles, similar to other knob-like structures, and this sometimes produces a coin. Cables are sometimes strung between poles that Mario can ride along as a captured spark pylon. He can destroy poles as a captured T-Rex.
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Plaster Wall.jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Soft wall]]
|The soft walls of Bowser's Castle can be pierced by a Pokio's beak and used to cross distant areas. They can be made of plaster, [[:File:SMO Screenshot Wood.jpg|wood]], or soft metal. Some moving sections look like [[rotating dial]]s and [[wooden pendulum|swinging pendulum]]s.

|Animated sprites that are hidden in 3D areas. Striking the ones found on walls causes them to release items. The most recurring sprites are Pixel Cat Marios and 8-bit Cat Peaches, which release 10 coins and a heart, respectively. 8-bit Rosalina only appears on the [[Dark Side]] and [[Darker Side]], releasing 10 coins just like Cat Mario. Pixel Cat Marios are also hidden in bushes on the general overworld. Pixel Luigis appear too, hidden underground. Finding one awards Mario with 200 coins. They were replaced with Pixel Captain Toads for limited period of time.
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Boombox.jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Boombox]]
|Boomboxes play {{wp|Diegetic music|music within their immediate vicinity}}. During the main game, striking one briefly interrupts the music with the sound of [[Bowser]] laughing. After [[Princess Peach]] is rescued, striking a boombox instead makes it play "[[Jump Up, Super Star!]]" with Japanese lyrics.
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Flower (Spin Throw).jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Flower (Spin Throw)]]
|Low-growing flowers that grow in rings. Tossing Cappy causes them to bloom briefly before closing again. Having all of the flowers bloom simultaneously rewards Mario with an item. Because most of these flowers grow in rings, the most effective way to cause concurrent blooming is to have Mario stand in the center and perform a [[Spin Throw]].
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Ruined Brochure C.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Glowing spot]]
|In most kingdoms, there are glowing protrusions on the ground that [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|rumble]] under Mario's feet. Ground-pounding one flattens it with the surrounding terrain and forces an item or [[Mini Goomba]]s to the surface. Some glowing spots are more subtle, being flat with the surrounding ground or underneath another object. Glowing spots are what are most often hinted at on Hint Art, and the [[Nintendog|dog]] will Mario to ones nearby. Small birds sometimes congregate around glowing spots.
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Artwork Hat Trampoline.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Hat Trampoline]]
|Hat Trampolines send Mario [[Spin Jump#Super Mario Odyssey|twirling]] into the sky and gently descend. Most of them are closed when encountered, but striking the red flower with Cappy or an attack from Mario causes it to open for a moment.
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Dispersible Objects.jpg|100x100px]][[File:SMO Screenshot Construction Barrel.jpg|100x100px]]<br>{{Conjectural|Kickable objects}}
|Light objects in the environment that are sent flying when [[kick]]ed or struck by Cappy, sometimes rewarding Mario with a coin. Most kingdoms have at least one iteration of this kind of object. Examples include: cardboard boxes, [[tire (object)|tires]], {{wp|construction barrel}}s, garbage bags, a {{wp|Ball (gridiron football)|gridiron football}}, tin cans, [[bean]]s, and small mushrooms. Some of these have unique properties to themselves. For example, carboard boxes are only launched when hit by Cappy. They can be stood on like platforms and flattened with a ground pound. Knocking garbage into a dumpster releases an item, and knocking a bean into Stupendous Stew awards Mario with a coin.
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Lamppost.jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Knob-like structure]]s
|Protrusions in the environment. Striking one with Cappy gets him hooked to the top and swing around it as if it were a {{wp|hatstand}} until the player lets go of {{button|switch|y}}. Doing this often rewards Mario with a coin. If the knob-like structure is glowing, it releases a Power Moon once spun on. Each kingdom has multiple knob-like structures that match the surrounding topography. Examples include: {{wp|Street light|lampposts}}, walkway lights, [[airship]]s, horns, fountains, [[Jaxi Statue]]s, parking meters, fire hydrants, pumpkins, iron fences, spires, and the [[Tail Tree]]. Some structures have secondary behaviors. For example, an iron fence spews fire when Cappy spins on its top. Most climbable trees and poles have dual purposes as knob-like structures. The latter can be found on the [[Starshroom]] and the ''Odyssey''.
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO 8bit Koopa Shell.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Koopa Shell]]
|[[Stomp]]ing on a [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] makes it recede into its shell, which can then be sent sliding on contact. A Koopa Shell bounces back when it collides with a wall, which can hurt Mario.
|-
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Lantern.jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Lantern]]
|Striking a lantern's flame extinguishes it and sometimes releases an item. Lighting the lanterns around [[Mount Volbono]] is needed to obtain some Power Moons and gain access to certain areas.
|-

|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Cap Brochure C.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Stump|Post]]
|An object that Yoshi can eat that increases a meter that, when filled, gives the player a Power Moon.
|Ground-pounding a post embeds it into the earth and sometimes releases a coin. Striking one with Cappy pulls it from the ground, and sometimes causes more coins to appear. Dislodging posts sometimes causes more substantial changes in the area.
|-

|Gives the player a varying number of coins when touched or passed through.
|These walls are chipped away when struck by a projectile, such as a [[Hammer Bro]]'s [[frying pan]] or a [[Sherm]]'s bullets. The walls sometimes obscure pipes and Power Moons.
|-

|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Garbage.jpg|100x100px]]<br>{{Conjectural|Rockable objects}}
|Three [[Turnip]]s that, when thrown into a pot in [[Peronza Plaza]], turn into Power Moons.
|Objects that rock slightly when struck by Cappy or jumped on, but are not sent flying and fall back into place. Hitting one sometimes releases a coin. Most kingdoms have an iteration of this object that matches the topography. Examples include: potted succulents, construction barriers, [[bin]]s, trashcans, tables, [[barrel]]s, and easels.

|-
|align=center| [[File:SMO Key.jpg|150px]]<br>[[Key]]
|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Snow.jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Snow]]
|When a key is collected, it unlocks a locked panel, which contains a Power Moon.
|The deep snow in Shiveria is cleared when Cappy is thrown through it. Some snow conceals doors and objects of interest.

|Increases the player's health to six (nine in Assist Mode) until their health lowers back to three (six in Assist Mode). If the player is at full HP, they will receive ten coins.
|The stone walls in Fossil Falls break apart when struck by a [[Chain Chomp]] or rammed by a [[T-Rex]]. Doing so grants access to other areas or exposes secrets. The [[stone spire]] is held upright by stone walls and collapses when struck by a captured Chain Chomp. Stone walls are embedded with fossils and some are shaped like dinosaur vertebrae.

|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Sword.jpg|100x100px]]<br>Sword
|A piece of a Power Moon. When five Moon Shards are collected, they turn into a regular Power Moon.
|The swords in Crumbelden are buried to the hilt. Like a post, Cappy pulls one from the ground when he is thrown at it, sometimes rewarding Mario with a coin. Some of these swords are used to hold a giant {{wp|kabuto}} to the [[Ruined Dragon]]'s head. Pulling all of the swords causes the kabuto to fall off, exposing the dragon's weak point.

|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Screenshot Yellow Turnstile.jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Yellow turnstile]]
|A rainbow-colored eighth note. These notes appear when the player touches a rainbow-colored treble clef and disappear after a certain amount of time, and when all of them in a set are collected in that amount of time, they reveal a Power Moon.
|Yellow turnstiles occur in areas accessed by Moon Pipes. Striking one of its walls makes it rotate 90°.

|Desert plants that damage Mario on contact, leaving needles embedded in his nose. Most cactuses are squat and round. Striking one of them with Cappy knocks it away and releases a coin. Knocking one into another cactus can cause a [[:File:SMO Screencap Cactus.gif|chain reaction]], where the last cactus drops eight coins. Tall cactuses also appear that are only knocked away when struck by the Jaxi. One near the [[Desert Oasis (Super Mario Odyssey)|Desert Oasis]] is covered with small birds and can be captured. Moving it exposes a glowing spot.

There are seventeen named locations that Mario can explore, most of which are in what the game calls "kingdoms." Each location has a specific theme, some being similar to themes seen in previous ''Super Mario'' titles, others being original themes. Some locations are based on a real-world location (e.g., Metro Kingdom's main area, New Donk City, is based on {{wp|New York City}}). Bowser is after various items in some of these locations, which all tie to his preparations for his wedding.

The developers recognized that when people travel to foreign countries, something that really has an impact is the different currencies. Therefore, they wanted to have Mario collect and use different [[regional coin]]s in each kingdom. Since the player travels outside the Mushroom Kingdom, the diverse art style between all the different kingdoms aimed to recreate the feelings of surprise and discovery when visiting foreign lands. It was also noted that a lot of time was spent in getting the right balance between familiar ''Mario'' concepts and completely new ones.<ref name="Nintendo Treehouse June" />

An example was the realistic [[T-Rex]] that is able to be captured by Mario. The developers looked back for inspiration from familiar ''[[Super Mario World]]'' elements in [[Dinosaur Land]], although they wanted to use a design that was "unseen" in a ''Mario'' game.<ref name="Nintendo Treehouse June" /> Familiar gameplay elements include the "8-bit" side-scrolling areas of the kingdoms, reminiscent to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in which progress is more "confined" and "precise." This was intended to be an engaging contrast to the 3D sandbox environments.

The developers knew that they wanted to have a city environment in the game that would resonate with players. As ''Donkey Kong''-inspired elements in the city came about, Pauline's presence in the series inspired the team to have her be the mayor of [[New Donk City]]. Some character development for Pauline was required in her transition from a damsel in distress to a major character, and it was decided that she would have an interest in jazz.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/6h9s6l/hi_im_mr_koizumi_producer_of_super_mario_odyssey/ Hi, I’m Mr. Koizumi, Producer of ''Super Mario Odyssey''.

To develop the game's camera system, the team looked at previous 3D ''Mario'' games. Miyamoto discussed how the 3D camera in ''Super Mario 64'' worked very well, as it had the joystick as well as the C buttons to adjust the automatic camera. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' had the C stick in order to control the camera freely, although they received feedback that the camera control was "a little bit difficult." With later 3D titles such as ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the minimal control of the camera also attracted some negative feedback. Miyamoto added that it is "very difficult to find the right balance."<ref name="Treehouse Live January" />

Through the version 1.3.0 update that was released on April 25, 2019, ''Super Mario Odyssey'' features compatibility with the [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Labo|Nintendo Labo]]'s Toy-Con VR Goggles in the mode "Playing in VR," which allows players to experience a small variation of the game in virtual reality.

The player can choose not to use the Toy-Con VR Goggles and instead play the mode with the normal view.

In each mission, Mario must find all three musical instruments and deliver them to the correct musicians in the area. Each instrument is revealed after finding a treble clef and collecting all of its [[note]]s. The objective is marked complete if all three musicians have been recruited and Mario has collected at least 100 [[coin]]s. Like in Assist Mode, Mario cannot be defeated, and if he falls into a hazard or goes out of bounds, he is encased in a [[bubble]] and brought back to stable ground.

If the player bounces off the [[Nintendog]] when it is in midair, the Nintendog will remain in midair for a while before jumping again. Consecutively repeating this glitch allows the player to gain immense jump height as long as they keep performing Cap Throws in between to maintain their height.

In New Donk City's park, if the player captures the [[letter]]s in the Metro Kingdom and lines them up so at least one is on the boundary of the park and the "M" is facing towards the [[Odyssey]], they can use a [[Motor Scooter]] to push said "M" into the other letter. By doing this, they will be able to capture the letter and take it out of bounds, letting them bring it anywhere they want in the city. This then has various effects throughout the level.

During the E3 playthrough of this game, certain items had different names. [[Multi Moon]]s were originally called "Grand Moons," and the [[Binding Band]] was simply referred to as the "Wedding Ring," which were literally transliterated and translated, respectively, from the Japanese original. The [[regional coin]]s of the Sand Kingdom and [[Metro Kingdom]] were called "Pyramid Coins" and "City Coins," respectively, but they are not used in the final game. Additionally, the mission [[Showdown on the Inverted Pyramid]] was named "Inverted Pyramid Showdown."

During the Nintendo Switch Presentation trailer, Cappy was not shown with eyes. Similarly, during the Switch Presentation and E3 trailers, Peach's tiara is shown as a regular tiara rather than [[Tiara]] herself. Both were most likely done to avoid revealing the characters too soon. Also during the Switch Presentation trailer, the electronic billboard for [[Wooded Kingdom|Steam Gardens]] found in New Donk City showed that the location was originally named "Kogwald."

There were also minor details that were changed, such as the hat on the door of the [[Odyssey]] being much smaller, and the Metro Kingdom's Power Moons being more bronze than brown. Several of the quotes uttered by NPCs are different than in the final game, such as the RC Car driver in New Donk City originally saying, ''"Is there a better way to spend free time? Nope,"'' before it was changed to ''"How are my kids so good at this?"'' The HUD during the E3 demo did not feature the instructions to press {{button|ns|minus}} to view the map and {{button|ns|plus}} for the menu, or the compass underneath the [[Health Meter]]. When there is only one hit point left, the Health Meter flashes differently than in the final game. When the player acquired a [[Life-Up Heart]], the extra health meter was colored green alongside the first one instead of light blue.

In New Donk City, there are signs present in certain areas that are not in the final game, and the Mayor Pauline Commemorative Park has a rocket ship taking the player to a bonus area. In the final game, the player must first find a hidden room inside a building and reach the pipe at the end, and they will be taken to a hidden area with said rocket. The rooftop pool beside the top of city hall was significantly deeper in the E3 demo, with the water level being just over Mario's head; in the final game, the water level approximately reaches Mario's neck.<ref>https://twitter.com/game4brains/status/946182614653681664</ref> It is likely that this change was due to the original water level leaving Mario susceptible to drowning, as demonstrated in a YouTube video uploaded by gaming news site Polygon during E3.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bixxb8jSxSg</ref> Additionally, an unused sprite of an 8-bit Metro Kingdom regional coin exists in the game's files, but it was left unused in the final game due to the minimal presence of 8-bit sections in that kingdom.

''Super Mario Odyssey'' has received widespread critical acclaim.

|''It's a testament to the sheer creativity underlying Odyssey that, even after watching the credits roll and playing for more than 24 hours, I still regularly come across things I haven't seen before. (The game opens up significantly after you complete the story.) There are coins and moons to collect and tucked-away nooks to discover. There are many moments in Odyssey where it doesn''t necessarily look like a Mario game, but more like the squat plumber has been transported into some other virtual realm. But it always feels like Mario — because it never stops surprising you.''

|''Super Mario Odyssey is a wide-open challenge that never stops changing, even dozens of hours in. It's of a kind with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which offered a similar sense of scope to Nintendo's other headlining single-player franchise. It's a world that feels huge at first, then small as you get to know it, and then huge again as you realize how fantastically dense it is with secrets and challenges. It gives you a simple set of tools and then asks you to do something different with them every ten minutes. Super Mario Odyssey is a fun game, an unoriginal observation that feels nonetheless vital in the modern gaming landscape. It is a game that tasks you with finding joy, and then lets you point yourself in the right direction. It is a game you should play.''
